He sadly died a few years back, and his eldest son too about a year later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justwatching Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 1976 Ford F-250 in 1:64 scale by Greenlight. Good roller and the bull bar on the front is well executed for a separately fitted part. Shame about the paint defect on the roof. New Year, same Greenlight. Datsuncog, AndyW201, morrisoxide and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 4 hours ago, Datsuncog said: Closest I can think of in 1/72 scale is a Hongwell Cararama... Shorter wheelbase and a smaller day cab than the Payne's one, sadly. Nice models these but a bit of an odd spec as flat roof R-series day cabs were never exactly common. They also did a sleeper cab that's much closer to the Payne motor but would need a bit of height taking out of the middle to make a P-series. Not tried that myself but I think I've seen it done.

andrew e Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 The day cab look were favoured by the plant hire companies - I knew my employees ran them - but god knows who the original owners were that they bought them from (saying that I had a 6 wheel bolt SWB 150 Transit and they didn’t exactly grow on trees either!).

Spottedlaurel Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 First kit completion of 2022: Reshell of this BMW that I first built back in the '90s. The engine, interior and floorpan/suspension were all from my first go at it, I didn't think there was much scope for improvement there*, I just felt like having another go at the body and hoping to improve my paintwork. I did it pearl white this time, with no stripes for a more subtle look, and gold centres to the wheels which were gunmetal first time around. I'm going through a similar exercise on a Toyota Celsior (LS400 Mk1), and may do it with a Skyline GT-R as well. Now this one's out of the way I must get on with the refurb of that '57 Chevy. *By this I mean I couldn't do it any better than when I was in my 20s, not that it's 100% perfect or anything!

bunglebus Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Just checked out several shops on a Hot Wheels hunt - Morrison's had the remains of a new box so picked up the BMW CSL. Tesco, Poundland, Smyths, Poundstretcher and Home Bargains - nada. Entertainer apparently got three new boxes in last week so of course all the good stuff had gone. Didn't expect anyone to be getting deliveries that week. Grr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlo Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 And some non-US ones. Some of these are diecasts actually. I like to try and 'improve!' some of them with changes or additions, which is usually easier with diecasts. morrisoxide, Amishtat, eddyramrod and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyarddog Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Scored these three in Tesco today. Amazed to see these on the shelf,this was all they had,as I would have bought the full set of five. Chuffed to have found the Starlet,I honestly thought I'd have to get it online,same for the Landcruiser. morrisoxide, andrew e, Justwatching and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Despite promising myself no more diecast, I have scored this supposedly 1/32 Frogeye on ebay. I've wanted one for ages really and plan to customise it to match my father's old one which he owned in the late 1960s. It seems model Frogeyes aren't particularly easy to source and generally sell for silly money, much like the real thing. This one is perfect for what I need- a project car. I've also been watching Matchbox Lesney late 1970s 'Build-a-truck' examples. I jointly owned one with my bro back in the day. Our young lad is massively into taking things apart and reassembling them as well as being a car nut. It didn't take much encouragement from Mrs DL to persuade me to score this beauty on ebay. Again, awaiting delivery on this on too. Looking forward to receiving both! andrew e, bunglebus, Justwatching and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frogeye you mentioned looks pretty good value although I'm happy with the example I've got on the way - the detailing looks clearer and it's slightly larger at 1/32. Mine likely worked out slightly cheaper delivered to the door too. Interesting to see another source nonetheless! RichardK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaefft Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 First time in many years I bought a Hot Wheels at the store. They had a huge crate of them at the checkout so I couldn't resist. I also couldn't believe they had a '96 Impala SS and a freaking Dodge Rampage so naturally I bought both of them. eddyramrod, Justwatching, RichardK and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remspoor Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I have been digging. Look at what is hidden in this box. Under this is another layer. Which is the old garage my father made for me when I was a boy. I thought I had posted a photo of that. But I cannot find it at the moment. So expect some more photos of this collection. However, I do warn you a lot are not pretty. Most have suffered in some way. bicycle repairman, andrew e, AndyW201 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
